' From the Charlesion Courier. ' A New Forage Plant for the ? ; South. . I have, received from various quarters " specimens of a plant resembling clover, ? ~. which has sprung up in almost every part of this State, especially along the" line of railroads, and also in several parts of Georgia and North Carolina, and -1.have heard of it as far West as Eufala, -Ala. ? . It -seems to be spreading. very rapidly through the whole of tho Sou thern States. A grass adapted to -pasturage has long been a desideratum ln^our Southern coun? try. This" species,'which Providence has . kindly ecnt.us,'seems to be admirably ? adapted to our present wants. Cattle are said to be very fond -of it. It grows in ? .almost every kind of soil,.- and flourishes ' iinder shade trees, and roots out the nut . grass, joint and Bermuda grasses. It is said, like clover, to salivate horses, but to - fatten other cattle. - -It-is represented as growing on tho poorest kind ot land. The top dies down in winter, but.tho root is perennial. A friend, (Mr. James W. "Watts, of Laurens District,) writes: "There are.in this vi? cinity dense pine thickets, under which nothing ever was known to grow before, - . that would now rival in beauty tho finest lawns in the best cultivated yards." I ?have not time to quote all the favorablo rtspresentations made of this grass. " For the name we are indebted to Mr. Gray; of Boston, who had been written to ?by a gentleman of Aiken ^signing himself H. W.-E., who is, no doubt, Mr. Henry TV. Ravenelj a distinguished- Botanist, ' who, in a printed circular issued from the Aiken Press, gives the name and descrip? lion of the plant. In. what manner it was brought to this country, and tho cau ' ses of its sudden ancLrapid spread through? out the Jand is-as yet inexplicable. The name Lcspedeza expresses no character? istic of the. genus; it was given by Mi ehaux in honor of Lespedoz, a Governor of Florida. There are as many as .seven or eight species described as natives of our Southern States: The English namo I have proposedjs '.'Japan Lucerne," inas? much as it. appears to'have more of the characteristics of Lucerne than of Clover. I would advise that planters in the countrywhere this grass exists, should mow it when it is ripe, during the present : ".month, and have the seeds for sale, and distributed throughout our low country. I have not seen it growing. I send a dried specimen, received through the kindness of Mr. Watts. Please let it remain at your office to be inspected by the planters. ?. ? - - J. B. : Messrs Editors: The interest you have always shown in giving prominence to - the vegetable resources of our Southern country, induces me to send yon the orig? inal paper by Mr. H. W. Ravenel on the , -'new.forage plant/' the Lcspedeza Striata.. He first propose'd for it the. name of Ja? pan .Clover, to indicate its affinities and derivation. This was tho first printed ac? count of it, and.it may oe added to tho paper recently published by you from your venerablo and distinguished corres? pondent, J. B. I have received specimens of tho plant .from correspondents for examination, and - -..had myself collected it manv years since ? "in Fairficld District, S. C. Mr. Eavehel informs me that it is now very much more widely diffused in St. John's, Berkeley, than formerly, and that ' _ it is eaten by hogs, as. well as by other animals. It is spread through their in '; - Bfruraentality', as. its seeds are not winged. F. P. P. .. Charloston, October 24,1807. . From the Aiken Press. This plant has occasioned mach inquiry ' from various quarters lately. It seems to be spreading all over the Southern At ? lantic States, and with such rapidity as to excite observation from farmers and oth? ers who are interested in its propagation. I have lately received specimens from two friends in Augusta. It -has spread . there so rapidly as "to attract general at? tention ;" and an inquiry into its history and'qualities was made the subject of in? vestigation bvthe Augusta Agricultural Club. The report of Dr. L. E. Bcrck mans-, oho of the Committee appointed to - investigate -its history and uses, is pub? lished in the Augusta papers. That of . Col. Bains I have not yet seen.1 A few days since I received specimens from Rev. Stiles Mcllichamp, of Orange burg, in this State. In his letter (sent through a friend) accompanying the spec? imen, ho says ; "It is taking possession of tho soils in St Matthew's, about Fort Motte. Tho planters there call it clover. Cows and horses eat it voraciously. It affects the salivary, glands in the-samo way as clover doos. . "Tho planters say it has mado its ap pearanco within one or two years past, at least as to universal prevalency." Another friend in Orangeburg writes : "The plant grows best on a rich clay ? soil, but does well on sandy lands?and even in the ehado, up to the roots of trees; but not seen on lands worked within a ? year or two. It sometimes grows to two ' feet high. The St.-Mathews planters, (where it abounds) speak of it as a bless? ing, as fodder lias boon scarce, and it puts out very early, and cattle and horses are fond of it; although, like Clover, it sali? vates them at first. I have a lawn with a number of mules and cattlo feeding on it; but like Rye, they do not appear to destroy it." I learn also from Mr. Morrit, who for? merly lived in Aiken, but now on his farm in Lexington District, that it is spreading in that neighborhood, though not yet in any great quantity. That in Edgeficld - District on the "Ridge," und also on tho Saluda River, it is in great abundance, taking possession of tho old fields, and even driving off tho Broomscdgo. That tho farmers say, their cows, horses and bogs all cat it and thrive on it, and that the dairies have all improved. 6incc it has become so common. They never noticed it before five or six years ago. Mr. Mer- i rit, on a late trip through Georgia, saw it j along the railroad as high as Palmetto, | abovo Atlanta, but saw none as ho went I off from the railroad into the country. I As this plant is now attracting much! attention, and has become thoroughly nat- j uralized, is propagating itself rapidly, and may become a valuable acquisition, as a substitute in our Southern country for the red clover, I will give its history, as far as it is known at present. It is not de? scribed in any American work on Botany. About sixteen or seventeen years ago I collected specimens ot this plant in the Parish of St. John's Berkeley, and also on the State road, ten miles above Charles? ton. I received, also, a;bout the same time, a specimens from a friend, collected in Fairficid District, in this State. As it was not described in any of the books, the specimen were labelled "Lespedeza," and placed in my herbarium. It at? tracted my attention again last summer, from its great abundance in the vicinity ofAiken?in the streets, along the rail? road track, and on the common roads and neighboring farms. Having sent speci? mens to Dr. Chapman, in Florida, author of "Flora of the Southern United States," he wrote as follows : "Lespedeza. I first received it seven years ago from Dr. Mettaner, of Macon, Ga., as a common weed about the streets. On my return home last fall, 186G, I met with at West Point on the Chatta'hoocbee; thence it extended along the road to Co? lumbus, and down the river to Eufala? in some places covering the ground like a carpet. It is evidently introduced." About the same time I sont specimens to Professor Fray, of Cambridge. He writes: "It is Lepedcza straiata, Hooker and Arnott, a naiivo of China and Japan. How the thing got down your way is a puzzle." This is a Leguminous plant with small trifoliolate, elliptical' leaves?Legumes small, fiat, roundish, growing in the axils of th eleaf. In poor soils it is generally proatralo on the surface; on rich soils it grows to the height of-two to throe feet, and becomes a luxuriant mass of vegeta? tion. The roots are perennial, but the tops are killed down in winter. The seeds ripen in October. I have seen it on ?all kinds of soil, from a poor damp sandy soil to a rich clay loam. When cultivated or grown on rich soil, the stems are slender and succulent enough to be cured as lodder. I cut some of it a few days ago and cured it. It retained the leaves, and had a fine green color when dry. Horses and mules eat of it heartily. Its chief value will probably be for pasturage, and for the improvement of old worn lands. Its rapid and universal propaga? tion, shows it to be a handy plant which will do well on any soil, but amply reply? ing care and manuring. Though not a truo clover, it is a nearly allied plant; and as wo want a name which will dis? tinguish it, and at the same time indicate some of its good qualities, I have called it Japan Clover. I would bo glad to receive any further information on the subject from those who-have tried it as food for animals, or as a means of improving the soil by ploughing in ot the,new crop. There is another lately introduced plant, which has been spreading so rapid? ly and generally, about Augusta and this place, as to attract attention, viz : Acan\ thospermum Xanthioides. It belongs to the Xanthium or Sheep bur family of plants, with small oval seeds armed with hooked prickles. This is a native of Brazil, and was probably brought to this country, as Berckman suggests, in his report to the Augusta Agricultural Ciub, in the bales of wool imported by the fac? tories. It is abundant all over the streets of Aikcn, even in tho 6undiest soil and where vehicles pass over it. I have also seen it along the railroad track and on the neighboring farms. Its uses, if it has any, are not yet known. It grows pros? trate on the ground, striking root at the joints, and may bo found of service in coating over banks and protecting tho surface of soils.liablo to wash. It is not yet described in any of our botanical works. Pacn' Poor People.?There are such, and wo have seen them. They are, in our judgment, the profoundest philoso? phers, and tho happiest fellows on the planet. We have been in the modest houses of those who never were and never will bo over-supplied with the wealth of this world, and there witnessed what wealth could never buy?scenes of happi? ness that were real, because they grew out of contented and disciplined hearts. It is easy enough to be rich?misfortunes excepted. Let a person elevate his thoughts, developing the intellectual and spiritual parts more than the qualities that have to do with nothing but material and earthly existence, and he will be as? tonished to find what a shrinkage his in? come is easily capable of undergoing. He will find that ho is obliged to labor for others less, while he can do for himself yet more and more. There id man}- a man. intelligent and refined, who dwells in apartments of* moderate dimensions, yet gets vastly more happiness out of ex? istence than any millionaire. It makes a great difference whether one is com? fortably situated, and with slender means at that, or is perfectly wretc'.cd with tho care of his accumulated means in the shape of stocks and bonds.
